Finally revisiting this thread. Noticed that two conversion cars both have the same unusual wheels (mittelmotor and euro914). What are the odds?
Congrats on the new drives: Eric on that sweet GT project. JoeS on the AX beaster. (Is this Carerror?) And Madswede...er JoeO. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) It's a good summer. My stealther has been a driver all summer, getting ready for some more refinements over the winter. |

QUOTE(Rand @ Sep 25 2012, 02:36 PM) Finally revisiting this thread. Noticed that two conversion cars both have the same unusual wheels (mittelmotor and euro914). What are the odds? ... It's euro911 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)(IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) The 'BB' is only a T4 2056, can't afford all the oil a -6 conversion requires (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) The ATS wheels on mine look similar to Mittelmotor's (looking straight on), but his are 5-lug and deeper dish (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) I have a set of same style unpainted 5-lug ATS wheels too, but they're 14". After checking the major players, it appears that there's actually a lot of good 14" tires still available (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mueba.gif) ... Continental, Dunlop, General, Goodyear, Kuhmo, Michelin, Nitto, Pirelli, all pretty reasonable prices too. As for this evening ... yanked the 'BB' off the lift and drove it to auto-shop class (40 mile round trip) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Changed-out the main jets (to 1.45s) and took a peek at KaptKaos' transaxle leak (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) When I got home, cylinder #2 is dead at idle again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) ... will pull the idle jet (again) to see WTF is going on. This is the 3rd time its clogged up. We have a clean fuel tank, new Carter pump with new filter up front, new SS fuel lines, another new filter in the engine bay and all new rubber hoses where needed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Looks like I may need to check the float bowls too ... |

Randal: Yes, that is Carerror.
Mark: That stuff that is clogging up your idle jet is coming from inside the aircleaner. Fuel dose not go through that jet, it corrects air. One gran of sand is all it takes. It comes from the base of the air filter and the air cleaner base. Make your effort there and see if that helps. |

Hey Joe. It was late when I posted ... musta had mains still on my mind (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
I'll blow the jet out again and check the filters. Even though the filters are new, it's possible some crap got in that one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I'll shoot a spritz of carb cleaner in the orifice too. Are you Street Legal yet? |

#3 cylinder wasn't firing so I did some troubleshooting and found the plug that goes into the fuel injector, though still appearing to be seated, was not making contact. So I shimmed it with a thin piece of cardboard and hope it holds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
Also adjusted the valves and set the timing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Then I drove it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Had the same issue on my wife's car. If the rubber boots on the connectors are shot, they'll wiggle loose. I was lucky to get some replacement boots from MarkB. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
Pulled #2 idle jet and sure as shit, there was a clump of rubber stuck in the orifice. All gone now ... but for how long? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) That can happen if the boots aren't stretched over the injector's connector body.(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) You can reshape the hollow pin connectors (ferrules) to fit the pins of the injector a little tighter. Using a small jeweler's screwdriver, work your way around the outer diameter, slightly pushing the walls of the ferrules inward towards the center. If that doesn't work, you might have to remove the ferrules from the connector body to reshape them. Having a correct size Molex pin removal tool is a plus. |
